How To Befriend Tophat In Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Hello Kitty Island Adventure has a lot of characters that you can interact with. Some characters will make themselves known early on, but not become fully available to befriend. This includes Tophat, who will pop up from time to time, only to disappear again.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure: How To Unlock City Town

Here, you can learn how to complete the quests necessary to access City Town for the first time in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

In this guide, we are going to take a look at how to unlock and befriend Tophat in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. This will also go over the quests that you need to complete in order to freely speak with Tophat. It’s worth noting that you’ll unlock Tophat and Big Challenges at the same time, giving you two characters that you can now give gifts to.

Where To Find Tophat

To unlock Tophat (and Big Challenges), you’ll need to complete the quest called A Challenging Rescue. This quest has a lot of requirements, which you can find below.

Once you have completed all of these quests, you can head to the Icy Peak entrance at the top, right-hand side of Gemstone Mountain. Tophat will be waiting here for you.

After completing A Challenging Rescue, Tophat will remain in the Seaside Resort on the beach. As with everyone else, you can check the map for his icon if he’s ever not in the usual spot.

How To Complete A Challenging Rescue

A Challenging Rescue is rather simple and initially starts with some lore dumping by Kiki and Lala. We won’t spoil this for you just in case you haven’t completed it yet, but you’ll essentially learn why Tophat exists.

After speaking with everyone, you’ll need to proceed through the entrance to the Icy Peak and begin to climb. The areas that you will climb will be evident, as they have little rocks jutting out.

Rather than just climbing, you’ll need to time your movement with the winds. When the winds are blowing, you won’t be able to climb up. This is visually on the screen, but there is also a little green icon under the map that is present if the winds are too strong.

If the wind does happen when you are climbing, you’ll fall down and lose all of your stamina. As such, it’s important to start climbing right as the wind ends. This gives you the most amount of time to climb.

As you climb, you’ll arrive at a few platforms with Tophat and a few characters. Speak to whoever awaits, and then move upward. You’ll see some entryways that go inside the mountain, but going into these is optional. The route to the top requires you to stick to the outside of the mountain.

At the very top, you can interact with a fast-travel mailbox for access later. Once you speak with Tophat, you’ll attempt to use your pickaxe to break Big Challenges out of the ice, but this proves to be useless. Thankfully, Kiki and Lala will help! Watch some more conversation, and then the quest will end! Both Tophat and Big Challenges will be standing on the beach of the Seaside Resort.

Gifts To Give Tophat

With Tophat unlocked, it’s time to shower him with gifts! Like everyone else, Tophat has some favorite tags, including Digital, Stars, and Fancy. These look like a grid of ones and zeros, a star, and a monocle.

If a gift has at least one of these tags, it will have one heart. You’ll also be able to give him two and three-heart gifts, which are on the table below.

What should you actually give him to build up your friendship with Tophat? We recommend giving him items with the Fancy tag at first, as this tag is the most common of the three. Here at TheGamer, we brewed a lot of Candied Banana Coffee and gave it to him.

Other fancy gifts include area-specific gift boxes, Spinip Alfredo Pizza, and Red Bow Apple Pie. Once you reach friendship level 13 with Chococat, you’ll be able to make the Computer, which is a two-heart gift for Tophat.

If you have enough Blank Books, you can also make Glitchy Books, which just require the blank version and one Glitch. You’ll get the recipe for this after reaching friendship level two with Tophat, and it’s relatively cheap.

Friendship Rewards

Tophat has the lowest number of friendship levels, capping out at just ten. Below, you can check out all the rewards for each level.

Quests From Tophat

Tophat doesn’t have any one-time quests that unlock when you increase friendship. It’s important to note that there are still quests tied to Tophat, they just don’t unlock at certain levels. For example, Island Champions is given by Tophat, but it requires you to complete A Challenging Rescue and A Long Awaited Introduction (this unlocks Wish Me Mell).

Below, you can check out the three daily quests associated with Tophat. As with all daily quests for the characters, they are randomized, and it’s not guaranteed that you will see a Tophat daily quest.
